Burn JC and Burn bible

Today, christians observe the law of Jesus that say Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and give unto God what is God's. That is because that is the reaity of morden day civil culture. That is why they pay taxes to their respective governments. This is where I disagree with GARVEYS AFRICA. This laws are not incorrect or unrighteous, they apply to offer just judgment to such ones and ones slaves or civil.

'Opening the Bible one sees Bible God is ordaining his chosen people to go into other people's lands and "take over" in other words COLONIALISM.' - Overs the difference between Repatriation and annexation. "No Book sanctioning such behaviour will ever be prescribed by me for our people. And nobody can tell I different" - now, the bible doesn't sunction slavery. In fact, such laws show the folly of backward culture such as slavery, where slave beating was one of the aspects slaves/slavers had to deal with, yet judgment had to be offerer in events such as when griveous/mortal harm happened.

Foolishness. Your God in his 600+ laws doesn't give any law AGAINST slavery instead he says you can beat and physically punish your slaves and the slaves must love their masters for this. And you put this down to just the sign of the times.... yet claim this is coming from GOD amwho should be above space and time and know when right is right and wrong is wrong. No Book that speaks of slaves in this way can ever be written by a righteous hand. You are blind and a little psychopathic if you believe so in my opinion

Matthew 10... Let's see what Jesus has to say “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn a man against his father,a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law 36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household. 37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it." John 14:6 "No one comes to the Father except through me." Recap: Doesn't come to bring peace but a sword..... Whoever loves their family more than this guy doesn't deserve to be saved Whoever doesnt choose to say Jesus and choose another religion doesn't get saved Anyone who chooses their own life over Jesus will "lose their life" What wicked narcissism And yet... Haile Selassie says "NO ONE FAITH IS MORE VALID THAN ANOTHER" Rastafari say "MAN WOMBMAN AND CHILD IS THE HOLA TRINITY" What a disagreement. Lol. At this point. To claim the Bible is without error is plain open sight stupidity and clearly not in line with the livity of Rastafari nor example of Haile Selassie even as a Christian

Now watch RastafariWorks dance.... Anyone who can dance around the fact that God's laws according to the book instruct it to be fine to "beat" ones "slaves" can dance around anything I expect no less

Funny side note: Jesus said he didn't come to bring peace but he came to bring a sword. He also said those who live by the sword will die by the sword. And so had a fitting end to his life as according to the story....lol. I don't want to emulate any man who is without Sin as Corinthians tells I. While Romans tell I NO man is righteous or deserving of glory. So if Jesus is without Sin but every other human being is with sin that makes his likeness unattainable God is nature. God is InI. God is man. I much rather try and emulate Haile Selassie and set Haile Selassie as I reflection of divinity as I KNOW Haile Selassie had faults like EVERY NORMAL HUMAN BEING. He would have been disciplined as a child and may have even had habits which could have annoyed his Queen from time to time as every normal man. And he was the product of a man lieing down next to a woman. Haile Selassie is a NATURAL man. Makes more sense to sight Haile Selassie .. a 1 who is just like I rather than sinless virgin-concieved "SUPER-NATURAL" miracle performing Jesus. Nature is the truth. Super nature Sinless Jesus is a myth Mek him live and die by fe him sword

I still don't overstand how you LITERALIST believers. Meaning you who seek the literal truth instead of the figurative message behind scripture...knowing that the literal message may easily be false or with error.... I STILL don't overstand how unuh get past the words of Abraham: "I AM AN ALLEGORY". O gosh...

If the Bible is a book of hidden messages. Which can be interpreted for Good Or can equally be interpreted to perform wickedness.... then the message which each individual gains, must ALREADY pre exist within the individual. So then it must be asked what is the point of the Bible? Again,. And to paraphrase...if I have to read the Bible with discernment. Knowing that "this" part has to be taken into context and all the other excuses ones give when faced with an overtly wicked statement; then I must be reading it already with a preconceived notion of right from wrong and righteousness from wickedness. Otherwise how would I use discern? So again... if I already have this, what would be the point of the text? The above is only for ones with a certain level of critical thought
